Enough to kill every American. That\u2019s the amount of lethal doses of fentanyl<\/a> \u2013 a total of 379 million \u2013 seized by the DEA in 2022.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The number is as disturbing as it is unsurprising: over the last decade, fentanyl related deaths in Americans have\u00a0increased 4,860%, reaching its\u00a0highest levels ever \u2013 over\u00a080,000 \u2013 in 2021.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This is no mere drug epidemic<\/a>. This is a national security crisis \u2013 a silent war being waged on America\u2019s most vulnerable populations, using poison as the weapon of choice.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Cartels, in collaboration with\u00a0China, are purposefully targeting vulnerable Americans, lacing additional drugs with fentanyl to increase rates of addiction and\u00a0hiding fentanyl in counterfeit pain, anxiety and ADHD medications.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2018THREE AMIGOS\u2019 SUMMIT WE NEED: BIDEN, OTHER LEADERS MUST GET SERIOUS ON ENERGY, CHINA, CARTELS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

This intentional effort to spread addiction and death is increasingly affecting American\u00a0teenagers, whose overdose rates have\u00a0doubled since 2019 thanks to these practices.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Part of the reason for this explosive growth is the growth of the cartels themselves. These criminal gangs now have at least partial\u00a0control over 70% of Mexican territory, resulting in some of the\u00a0highest homicide rates in Mexican history.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, Mexico\u2019s current security approach of “hugs, not bullets” is unsurprisingly ineffective in curtailing this trend. Crime is committed with impunity, with only\u00a01.3% of cases solved in Mexico, and\u00a0attacks on journalists are on par with the war-torn nations of Syria and Afghanistan.\u00a0<\/p>\n

BIDEN’S NEW BORDER SECURITY PLAN WON’T WORK. HERE’S WHAT WILL<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

At the same time, Mexico is undergoing a similar type of democratic backsliding as Venezuela under Hugo Chavez. Just as in Venezuela, Mexico is increasingly\u00a0expanding the scope of activities for the Mexican Army, deploying them to oversee social programs, militarizing police forces, and in effect turning the army into the president\u2019s political base. This combination of violence, corruption and human rights violations are a petri dish for the rise of cartel drug smuggling and power.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Monday, President Biden is in Mexico to participate in the annual North American Leaders Summit, where he will be meeting with the Mexican and Canadian presidents. Despite the tens of thousands of deaths caused by our open border, Biden has inexplicably described his\u00a0priorities during the summit as “climate and the environment, migration, diversity and inclusion.”<\/p>\n

Security cooperation should be our only priority.\u00a0<\/p>\n

If we have any hope of reducing the amount of fentanyl that takes American lives, President Biden must make addressing the drug crisis a national priority. We cannot turn a blind eye to our fellow Americans who have fallen victim to substance abuse. They, like all Americans, have an inherent right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness; and our national project mandates we strive to ensure those rights.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I’VE BEEN TO THE BORDER AND HERE IS MY MESSAGE TO PRESIDENT BIDEN<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The summit is an important opportunity to do just that. It is only with strong, reliable cooperation from Mexican security forces<\/a> that we can effectively curtail drug flows. Unfortunately, this cooperation has\u00a0declined in recent years thanks to Mexico\u2019s 2020\u00a0Foreign Agent\u2019s Law. We must reverse this trend, and make it abundantly clear that stopping cartels is a direct national security priority of both the United States and Mexico.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This is especially true now that Mexico is itself beginning to experience an\u00a0uptick in fentanyl-related addiction and death, and as cartel violence\u00a0threatens democratic processes and results in the\u00a0murders high-ranking officials. In recent days, President Lopez Obrador\u00a0arrested Ovidio Guzman, son of drug kingpin “El Chapo,” and put the cartel-ridden state of Sinaloa in lockdown. President Biden should insist such steps be the start of a new security approach for Mexico, not merely a one-off signal in advance of the coming summit.<\/p>\n

Biden should also hold Mexican government officials at the state level accountable for their complicity in the drug trade, including by expanding the use of the\u00a0Kingpin Act to target those officials who enable or turn a blind eye to cartel activity. The Guacamaya hack, which includes information held by the military on\u00a0ties of local mayors in Mexico to the cartels, should be mined for information and combined with existing U.S. intelligence for Kingpin designations and the “prudential revocation” of non-immigrant visas.<\/p>\n

Of course, Biden needs to commit<\/a> to securing the border from our side, investing more heavily in customs inspections at our ports of entry\u00a0where the vast majority of drugs enter the United States and end what has effectively been our open border policy. In 2022, cartels made an astronomical\u00a0$13 billion from smuggling immigrants \u2013 an increase of $12.5 billion from just four years\u00a0prior. This money serves to further fuel violence and addiction on both sides of the border.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Mexican cartels<\/a> are engaged in an intentional campaign against American citizens \u2013 a campaign that has, in a single year, murdered more Americans than were killed in 9\/11, Pearl Harbor, and American casualties in every war over the last 30 years\u00a0combined. The United States must deploy all resources at its disposal to stop this. Hundreds of thousands of American lives depend on it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
